We just think she is amazing.  She was an ahlivv girl.  She may not still be a part of the ahlivv team but she is in our hearts!! Check out what people magazine said about her after her HUGE medal win.

When she was a little girl learning how to ski in New Hampshire, Hannah Kearney tried the traditional events – slalom and racing, but she came to a quick conclusion. They were boring. Instead, she turned to the freestyle and won four junior world titles in moguls.

She added to the trophy case Saturday. Standing at the top of the mogul course, a light snow falling around her and a wild Canadian crowd of 7,500 roaring after country favorite Jennifer Heil just laid down a terrific run to take over first place, Kearny, 23, now of Norwich, Vt., thought, “I have to ski the best run of my life.”

She did, negotiating 200 meters of bumps and jumps to score a 26.63 on her way to winning America’s first gold medal of the Vancouver Games.
